Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the minimal reproduction project linked in the issue and reproduce the behavior in Godot 4.4 or 4.4.1 by placing the .fbx and .png files in res://assets/. Trace the import handling for those files and compare the resulting project tree; done means files and directories outside assets are no longer copied into the assets directory.
